INTERVIEWED - Ken Wharton author of A Long Long War

One of the best interviews we have had on HMVF. A compelling read and a must for everyone. First class Snapper.

 

How did you deal with wading through all the accounts of British casualties? Some of them are pretty grim to say the least and even after all this time they can bring out strong emotions. My own experiences as a soldier lead me to often cry at the death of a fellow soldier, and reading the personal tragedies as they came in was pretty traumatic. My objective is to name every single soldier, sailor or airman who died in, or as result of, Northern Ireland.

 

 

...On HMVF we have an old chestnut question we ask everyone: What is your favourite tank? Sorry, don’t have one. God gave Infantrymen two feet; why would they want to sit in a tin can?
